...both speaking in a curiously labored and mannered diction. Others of the birds and animals were occasionally comprehensible; and the Blackbird, through the mouth of Mr. Leuers and the Dog through that of Mr. Trader, actually gave character and tang to their speeches. Sometimes there was wit but very seldom poetry in what they said. Rostand and his changing speeches, his teeming wit, his birds as wise or as foolish, as generous or as selfish as humans, were far away--fully the three thousand miles that separate Boston from Paris.

Especially when the substitutes went in was this defect noticeable. Several times the secondary defence was badly drawn in, particularly when Holy Cross executed the forward pass which put the ball on the University team's 15-yard line. Again there was evident the fact that the right side of the line is by far the stronger of the two, although very few gains were made through...
